A Branch and Bound Clustering Algorithm

IEEE Transactions on Computers, 1975
The problem of clustering N objects into M classes may be viewed as a combinatorial optimization algorithm. In the literature on clustering, iterative hill-climbing techniques are used to find a locally optimum classification. In this paper, we develop a clustering algorithm based on the branch and bound method of combinatorial optimization.

AB&B: An Anytime Branch and Bound Algorithm for Scheduling of Deadlock-Prone Flexible Manufacturing Systems

IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, 2021
This work investigates a scheduling problem of deadlock-prone flexible manufacturing systems modeled by place-timed Petri nets. It proposes an anytime branch and bound (AB&B) algorithm for it to minimize system makespan based on the branch tree of a net ...

Solving the multi-objective flexible job shop scheduling problem with a novel parallel branch and bound algorithm

Swarm and Evolutionary Computation, 2020
This work presents a novel parallel branch and bound algorithm to efficiently solve to optimality a set of instances of the multi-objective flexible job shop scheduling problem for the first time, to the very best of our knowledge.

An enhanced branch-and-bound algorithm for bilevel integer linear programming

European Journal of Operational Research, 2020
Bilevel integer linear programming (BILP) problems have been studied for decades. Many exact algorithms have been proposed in recent years for small- or medium-sized instances.

Parallel branch-and-bound algorithms

Future Generation Computer Systems, 1989
Abstract In this paper a parallel algorithm for branch-and-bound problems is sketched. It is designed to run on MIMD machines and exploits coarse grain parallelism. Due to the irregular and unpredictable behavior of branch-and-bound algorithms, it is hard to obtain a good load-balance.

A branch and bound algorithm to solve a two-machine no-wait flowshop scheduling problem with truncated learning function

International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management, 2020
This paper addresses a two-machine no-wait flowshop problem with the effect of the truncated learning function of jobs whose actual processing times depend on their positions in the sequence.
